New green and finding out I'd guessed correctly. Not bad.

2007-05-09

Good morning Boys and Girls.

Gently falling rain overnight, and it continues this morning.

Man oh man, over the past three days the green factor around here has jumped by three fold. We had a mid-April snow storm that delayed things a couple of weeks, but Mother Nature is recovering and all the large trees out back have had their leaves come out over the last day or two. From here, for instance, I can't see the ridge I walked up the other night because the new leaves have obscured it. -Glad I took the walk the other night. Plus, I mowed the lawn Sunday and it looks like it could use it again today, just three days later.

Spring done sprung!

Ever come to a realization that makes you smile like crazy? I'd been dealing with a situation and had been worried I might have handled it badly, but I wasn't sure, really. Then the other day, because of some unrelated information I stumbled across I figured something out that I can't get out of my mind, that (a.) makes me chuckle, and (b.) means, thankfully, in retrospect, I handled it just fine.

Here's an example of what I mean, though it's a completely different set of events and what I'm relaying here took place fifteen years ago or so.

I owned a little restaurant with a friend. Both of us had other businesses and we had a manager who ran the place day to day. He'd hired a kid that it seemed had decided to start taking money from the till on day one. After three or four days of being short exactly twenty bucks on the days he worked, I told our manager to just let him go, but not to make any accusations in the process. We weren't certain, but I didn't have the energy to make a big deal about it or to try to "set him up" or anything to find out for sure whether the sticky fingers were his. We did notice that when he'd gone, the shortages stopped.

As it happened, the kid went to work at another place down the block within a day or two and about a month later was arrested for stealing from them. I was satisfied on two counts; first, that he'd gotten his, and secondly that my judgment had been correct.

That sort of thing.

Sure is pretty here.


Be good to everyone.

That is a good meaning of what comes around goes around. Glad he was caught.
